Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Hearing the door open, Wang Yaotang stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door with a smile.

He was to attend the banquet hosted by the Governor of Macau the day after tomorrow, and he was required to have a female companion. It was his first time, and Guan Jiahui had never attended one before. However, Teresa Teng was more experienced, so he called her over, and Sha Ze went to the pier to pick her up.

Having secured the patrol boat and having the opportunity to get involved in the reclamation project in Haojiang, Wang Yaotang was in a great mood today. Upon seeing a beautiful woman with a sweet smile, he strode over, ready to give her a princess carry and a big spin!
Standing there watching Wang Yaotang rush towards her with outstretched arms, Teresa Teng suddenly exclaimed, "I'm pregnant!"

In an instant, Wang Yaotang's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he froze on the spot as if struck by a spell. He blinked, swallowed hard, and asked, "What did you say? Say it again?"

"I said, I'm pregnant." Teresa Teng's eyes were filled with worry, unease, and anticipation, her expression quite complex.

He didn't know whether what Wang Yaotang said before was true or false, which is why he didn't tell him the results immediately.

"I'll take it! Really!" Wang Yaotang bowed slightly, his muscles tense, his eyes wide with surprise.

Seeing Wang Yaotang's performance, all of Teresa Teng's worries vanished instantly, and a smile bloomed on her face. "Really."

Wang Yaotang took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, "Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"

Six months ago, he decided he wanted children, lots and lots of children. But none of the three women, Guan Jiahui, Deng Lijun, and Ye Qianwen, had any results. He even wondered if there was something wrong with him because of his time travel!

In the end, would it be good to donate such a large fortune to a bunch of people... cough cough.

Now that I can finally relax, I excitedly punch the wall twice.

Bar teeth!

"What are you doing? Does it hurt?" Teresa Teng quickly grabbed his hand to check it; his knuckles were bright red.

"Just kidding, your man's a double-crown red stick, he's really tough!" Wang Yaotang grabbed Teresa Teng's shoulder, his hand making a few grasping motions in the air. "How many days has it been? Why didn't you tell me? Were you trying to surprise me?"

"It's been two months. I'm not worried that you're lying to me. I just want to have some fun and I don't want a child at all," Teresa Teng said softly, pouting.

"How could that be? You're carrying the eldest son of the Wang family!"

"What if it's a daughter?" Teresa Teng asked, raising her face.

“That’s the eldest daughter of the Wang family. It’s not like you can only have one child. I’m not some old fogey. You’re a woman too, and your achievements surpass those of 99% of the men in the world.” Pulling Teresa Teng to sit on the sofa, Wang Yaotang’s mouth fired like a machine gun: “Did you tell PolyGram? You…”

Wang Yaotang suddenly looked at He Lili, the Hong Kong Island agent who followed him in, and her two personal assistants, and asked, "Why didn't you inform me?"

He Lili panicked immediately, "Li, Li, Lijun told me not to tell you."

“I told them not to tell you,” Teresa Teng quickly added.

Wang Yaotang stared into He Lili's eyes and beckoned her with his finger.

He Lili trembled with fear, but still stepped forward, bent down, and brought her face close.

"Slap!" A loud slap landed across her face. "You're all by Lijun's side taking care of her work and life. I can understand that she has mixed feelings about this. Don't you guys have any brains?!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang." Half of He Lili's face was numb, but she still gritted her teeth and admitted her mistake.

The entire management team did have their own agenda. When they learned that Teresa Teng was carrying Wang Yaotang's first child, they immediately decided that the baby had to be born!

If it were a boy, I simply can't imagine!

If we don't know what Wang Yaotang is thinking, then we won't say anything, let's just stall!
“Ah Yao.” Teresa Teng hugged Wang Yaotang’s arm.

"Stop with your messy little schemes. Anyone else could take good care of Lijun, but you will only be drowned."

He Lili was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak.

After waving him away, Wang Yaotang turned his head and smiled again. "Did the doctor tell you what to be careful about during the first three months? They don't have experience taking care of pregnant women. You should hire a professional pediatric nurse to be with you. Reduce your workload this year."

"I'm not that delicate, the doctor already told me that." She was very happy that Wang Yaotang was so concerned about her. "The work isn't tiring, and it's not good to stay at home all the time. By the way, how's the concert in Guangzhou going?"

Because of Wang Yaotang's attitude towards the mainland, she also started to pay attention to this matter.

“Yes, you need to get proper exercise, and you also need to pay attention to your diet. You also need a real nutrition expert. I’ll have to invest in a hospital later.” Wang Yaotang slapped his thigh. “The concert is confirmed. I was just about to tell you. They will set up a special ‘Guangdong Cross-Strait Cultural Exchange Group’ to handle communication between the two sides. The two elders from the Propaganda Department and the United Front Department will serve as the group leader and deputy group leader, respectively, while the Cultural Department will be responsible for the specific work.”

"Oh, you've gone this far?" Teresa Teng covered her mouth, looking quite surprised.

"Heh, what do you think?" Wang Yaotang said with a hint of smugness, "Asian Superstar sounds good, but..."

Teresa Teng pouted.

“But the influence isn’t fake. The key is to find a way to turn that influence into political assets. If you do this series of activities well, you can wear the title of ‘Cultural Exchange Ambassador.’ Then you can shout in the media, ‘We want communication, not confrontation; we want peace, not war,’ an anti-war slogan. Plus, you’re a woman.” Wang Yaotang clicked his tongue twice. “With a few layers of gilding, you’ll immediately become a rising political star in the Asian sphere, leaving a faint mark on history. Then who will dare to call you a songstress?”

"Your fans will be happier, prouder, and give you even more support!"

"It's not as amazing as you say." Teresa Teng said, feeling a little embarrassed but also very hopeful.

She knew her place as an actress and singer. Before this, she felt inferior when facing some important figures, such as the Guo family.

"I'm still a single mother." She said, glancing cautiously at Wang Yaotang.

“That’s even more impressive. A new-era independent woman, a feminist fighter… a feminist advocate, she could be developing her career at the United Nations.” Wang Yaotang smiled and playfully flicked her nose.

"Are you just kidding me? Are you serious?"

“Of course it’s true.” Before running for councilor, Wang Yaotang pushed Teresa Teng just to express his attitude toward the mainland, but now… he’s thinking of using Teresa Teng’s fame.

When he announces his candidacy, his past will definitely be exposed, especially with the Fang family as an enemy. No matter how many people vote with their feet, the reputation of being a triad boss will still have a significant impact.

Standing next to Teresa Teng would greatly mitigate this impact; after all, fans always hold onto beautiful memories...

Being pregnant, I didn't do anything enjoyable last night and went to bed early.

The next morning, on the large bed in the villa, Wang Yaotang opened his eyes, looked around, turned over, hugged Teresa Teng next to him, and closed his eyes again.

After lingering on the bed for more than ten minutes, Wang Yaotang finally sat up in bed after being provoked by Teresa Teng, baring his teeth and saying, "Madam, you're quite arrogant!"

Teresa Teng chuckled, "Yes, I'm arrogant, I'm arrogant, what can you do about it!"

"I'm giving you one last chance. Don't think that just because you're pregnant I can't punish you!"

"Okay, okay, then punish me." Teresa Teng looked at Wang Yaotang with her watery eyes and drew circles on his chest with her hand.

"Holy shit!" Wang Yaotang yanked the blanket off.

Teresa Teng slid down the bed like a water snake and busied herself. A dozen minutes later, she covered her mouth, got out of bed, and ran to the bathroom.

After doing a half-hearted morning exercise, Wang Yaotang got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and then went to see his two masters, Liu and Li.

Without mentioning the two men's dark circles, he led his men straight to the dock.

"If we're going to test it, let's be comprehensive. Can we improve its ability to withstand wind and waves, its continuous sailing capability, and its shooting accuracy? The sea can't always be this calm. If the weather becomes too unpredictable, I'll arrange for a ship to go out to sea with you today and take a trip to Dongsha, which is 200 kilometers away."

The two immediately agreed. They couldn't stay in Haojiang any longer; they were afraid that if they stayed any longer, they would be completely corrupted by the sweet words and promises.

At the dock, it was the same customs officer from yesterday, sporting the same large dark circles under his eyes.

Didn't we agree to drive away last night?

How can such a big shot go back on his word? Do you know how I spent last night?
Wang Yaotang was a little embarrassed to see him; Neves' invitation to the cocktail party was purely accidental.

He gestured with his chin, then took out his wallet, took out a thousand yuan, and handed it over, saying, "Let's have some morning tea."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang." The staff member immediately perked up.

When he saw Wang Yaotang also board the speedboat, Master Liu looked surprised.

“My new ship, of course I have to fire the first shot myself,” Wang Yaotang said with a smile.

After sailing about 20 kilometers, we met up with the "Quanxing" fishing boat, which was the same modified fishing boat that had previously been used by Quanxing for cargo transport. Targets made of dark blue pontoons were floating on the sea.

First, Wang Yaotang tested the firing problem while the boat was stationary. He rubbed his hands together and then grabbed the Type 56 light machine gun to get a feel for it. The boat was about 20 kilometers from the shore. The waves were not big, about half a meter high, but the boat was small, so he could still feel the obvious ups and downs.

A hundred meters away, he took a quick aim, pulled the trigger, and fired, "rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat..."

After five consecutive short bursts, the safety was switched off, and someone immediately went up to check. A voice came over the walkie-talkie that the target had not been hit.

"Damn it!" Wang Yaotang cursed under his breath. He had some real combat experience and often used bullets to improve his marksmanship, but it was still no good in this situation.

After that, there was a series of tests, including 'stationary target', 'stationary target', 'high-speed target shooting', and 'moving target'. We tested them all. Although we didn't have high expectations, out of more than 500 bullets fired, let alone accurate shooting, we could hardly hit even a 3-meter square pontoon.

"Can't the accuracy of this thing be improved?" Wang Yaotang asked, unwilling to give up.

"What you're talking about is called an artillery stabilization system. It's technically very complex and bulky, mainly used in tanks and warships." After thinking for a moment, Master Liu added, "Our current technology is based on the Soviet mechanical-hydraulic system, which is used in the Type 59 tank. It has a slow reaction speed and very poor accuracy."

Master Li sighed and continued, "I read in some foreign journals that the American Abrams uses a two-way all-electric stabilization system with a perturbation gyroscope, with a response time of less than 0.1 seconds, which can maintain shooting accuracy at an off-road speed of 30 kilometers per hour. I don't know how it is achieved."

"Can the 59 fight against the M1?" Wang Yaotang asked curiously.

"M1?" The two were taken aback.

"That's Abrams, commonly known as M1 in other countries."

Master Liu frowned and shook his head. "Looking at the armor thickness published by the United States, theoretically, it can't even penetrate the frontal armor, let alone hit it in mobile warfare. As for the M1 against the Type 59, according to their published hit rate, it would be difficult to keep the kill ratio at 10:1."

Wang Yaotang blinked and didn't ask any more questions. "We can't improve this at all. For example, we can't add any shock absorption, like hydraulic or spring technology. Even a little improvement would be good."

“Well…” the two frowned and thought for a moment, “we should be able to give it a try.”

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll cover the experiment costs." Wang Yaotang said generously, "That's settled then. Please take care of the follow-up testing. I'm heading back now."

"Okay, then take care."

Wang Yaotang smiled and waved his hand, "Take care?"

This afternoon I need to go to Umbrella to check on the training progress. I need to make sure Tiao Lin and Shui Fang have a good talk with me during the upcoming 'Great Sweep'. Also, I have an appointment to meet with lawyer Yue Jiu'an tonight.
